Description

Nice example of radial white pectolite. The pectolite fills a vug in a julgoldite/pumpellyite covered calcite vein.

The Kreimbach-Kaulbach quarry works in intrusive andesite (so called "kuselite"), sometimes vein-type mineralization occurs.

The locality has become well known because of very good greenockite and prehnite finds in the past.
